The paper which Mr. GEORGE GODWIN read at the Social Science Congress, on the influence on health of the overcrowding of dwelling-houses and workshops, and the means by which such over. c rowding may be prevented, was on a subject that addresses itself to the interests of ell, and which cAnnot be too thoroughly investigated end earnestly dwelt upon. It seems irAdved singular that in an enlightened age practices so injurious to health and comfort should be persisted in, but as such is lamen tably the c;se it behoves us to attend with deference to the opinions of these who are qualified to speak on the subject with the authority of knowledge and the benefit of experience. We aro told that Mr. GODWIN has revisited some of the places he last year mentioned, and found the evils then existing Kill unabated and unremedied. In some of the houses in the courts of Drury-lane the state of things is dreadful to contemplate. One house con tained in its eight rooms no lees than " thirty. and another " forty-fi ve ." Thia seven persons," erntilming the Black Hole At Calcutta in its horrors and misery. In other places the sa' me and even worse evils prevail, children dead an 1 dying in the ill kept and ill-ventilated rcoms v ;here many others slept and ate their food. Such things are sufficient to breed a pestilence. In the errantry, too, the most glaring evils are found to exisq. Often has it been found that a small cottage etmtains two sleeping rooms, in one of which was contained a man, his wife, and six or seven children, while the other was occupied by three or four lodgers, such as farm labourers or navvies. The learned gentleman de clared that at least 500 cubic feet were necessary for health for each person for breathing space, and that in many places there is not so much as 100 feet of space. The consequences are deplorable that result from such overcrowding, and it is fearful to think that thousands of our fellow-creatures are thus enduring a living death and fatally injuring their constitutions by the pernicious habits of their lives. No wonder it is thus commented upon. 6 , Health under such circumstances is simply int• possible, just as certainly as a taper dwindles and ultimately expires in a jar, from which a fresh supply of air is excluded, so does the vital power of man under similar circumstances grow less and less powerful, and ultimately ceases.' Mr GODWIN'S notion of a remedy to this crying evil is a good one ; he advises that the act which regulates common lodging-houses should be put in force in all tenements that are let to more than two families. Many may complain of the hardships of interference, but what can be more true than this remark that a man is not permitted to poison others with drugs because they are dependent upon him and he is poor, and that, therefore, by the same rule, he should not be suffered to injure the health of those who dwell in the house for which he pays rent. Mr GODWIN remarked that the last census showed that there was in London, of different ages, nearly 55,000 milliners and dressmakers, " an army of martyrs needing our care," he truly added. The rooms where these unhappy beings work are filled to danger-point, and often beyond it. An exami nation had been made of the workrooms of two first class milliners and dressmakers in the neighbour• hood of Regent-street, and the result of the inquiry proved that their condition was fearful as regarded the chances for health. In bad weather, with closed windowe, and at night with gas in all directions, and no proper ventilation, the atmosphere is, as may be supposed, " poison." Mr GODWIN concluded by trusting that the Com mission appointed to inquire into the state of the employments of many persons throughout the country will inform themselves of these peculiarities and devise some remedial measures to stay the evils that now abound to such a frightful extent. It is not surprising that this paper was listened to with great attention and interest ; and it eminently de• served such consideration, for no subject can be more important in its way than this, which imme diately and intimately concerns the wellsbeing of the community. We must not rest while a state of things is rife among us which consigns thousands to a life of suffering, and hurries off hundreds to a premature grave in what should be the flower of their youth and the prime of their days. Some remedy must exist to contravene a system that is in direct opposition to the laws of nature and the rules of health, and the sooner the better the at tention of competent persons is directed to find a remedy for its grievances. The arrangements of all work places should be such that their occupants may in health and comfort perform their tasks; if otherwise, the most distressing results will inevit ably ensue. The prospects of peace in America are still I vague, although indications are not wanting of the popular desire for the cessation of hostilities. It is very well for the President and his colleagues to order thanksgiving days and costly salutes in honour of some temporary and profitless triumph ; bat Yankee shrewdness is not to be always imposed upon, and it has long since been discovered what these official flourishes of trumpets are worth. The conviction at which the unprejudiced mind of Ea. rope has long since arrived, that the forcible sub jugationof the South is an utterly hopeless task, is slowly but surely gaining ground among the Northern States. How long the war will last de pends on many things—the large interests involved in its maintenance being one of the most conspi. cuous. But the lack of men and money will paralyse most wars ; and American recruits and greenbacks are alike getting into disfavour. It is a noticeable fact that both parties are anxious to disavow any pacifio overtures, although the South does not hesitate boldly to avow its readiness to accept a n y reasonable terms. The recognition of their inde. peradence is the one point upon which they are im. movable, and in this the sympathies of Europe go with them. It is certainly too much to expect that after holding out three years against the immense armies raised by the North, after contending sue. ccssfully against the tremendous difficulties of their position, lifter their many victories on land and their daring exploits at sea, after the hard fought struggle for Vicksburg and the triumphant defence of Charleston, after all their sacrifices and their successes, the Confederate States are now to. abandon the very principle fcr whose recognition they have all this time been contending. No doubt they have plenty of hints from secret friends in the North that men are sick and weary of the war ; that women are bewailing their desolated hearths and impoverished house holds, that volunteers are not forthcoming when wanted, and that high bounties only turn desertion into a profitable trade. At all events the South shows no sign of concession; and, probably, were her military position very different from what it is she would still be unwilling to accept any terms not based upon the recognition of her independence, 1 while the Presidential election was so close at hand. The proceedings at Chicago must have afforded great encouragement to the Southern leaders, evidencing, as they did unmistakably, the strength of the Northern desire for peace and the weariness felt of the Federal Reign of Terror; The division of the peace party consequent upon General M'CLELLAN'S imprudent manifesto must be equally disheartening to them. It greatly increases the chances of LINCOLN'S re-election —an event to be greatly deplored—not only at Richmond but by all Americans. It may well be doubted how far such sentiments will prevail when once the Demo. cratic candidate is fairly established at Washing ton. If, however, General M'CLELLAN's Union professions aro merely designed to increase the number of his supporters and to bring under his banner some thousands who are yet vaeillatieg i n their adhesion, they are certainly of needless length and strength, and his insisting upon the Union as the one condition of peace is imposing needless fetters upon himself for the future. Cer. tainly the tenure of office is apt to enlighten man's minds very considerably, and marvellous changes of conviction have been wrought by its sudden aquisition. We may therefore reasonably suppose that the pacific " platform' of the Chuago Conven tion would not prove as unacceptable as General ITCLELLAN would have us to believe, but that hu manity and common sense might be suffered to be heard when they declared the Union to be an idle chimera. Meanwhile affairs are greatly complicated by this movement. Mr Wow:), Mr VALLAINDIQBA3S, and other prominent mmabers of the peace party openly declare that they will not support General M'CLELLAN, and rumours are afloat of the re-as sembling of the Convention in order to reverse its decision. Nothing could be more unfortunate than the tone of 111,(CLELLAN'S address, and the effect of the consequent division among the Democrats will assuredly be most damaging to the party. Mean. while there seems little reason to doubt that LIN COLN himself would be glad of some loophole which would enable him to hold forth hopes of a speedy compromise. He has identified himself with a war policy, but he would not be sorry if he could go to the coming election with the tidings of an ap proaching armistice. If the country is getting tired of the war, as President LINCOLN has too good reason to know it is, the announcement of in. terminable hostilities is not a very good speculation for a candidate for popular suffrages. According to Mr BENJAMIN'S version of the mission of Mr. GILMORE and Colonel JACQUES, those gentlemen represented themselves to be unofficial represents. tives of President LINCOLN, and empowered by him to go through those informal preliminaries which might naturally be supposed to precede regular cffi cial negotiations. Mr BENJAMIN further states that the visitors earnestly desired that the purport of their expedition should be kept a profound secret, whereas they themselves have been the first to divu:ge it. These are the chief points of diffe rence between Mr BENJAMIN'S account and Mr GILMORE'S narrative, although the Confederate Secretary of State insists on the discrepancies between the two versions. He says that the basis of peace proposed by GILMORE and JAQUES was " the reconstruction of the Union, the abolition of slavery, and the grant of an amnesty to the people of the South as repentant criminals." These, it will be remembered, were substantially the terms recapitulated by Mr GILMORE in his narrative; and he also recorded the Southern President's indignant renunciation of such terms. The great difference between the two versions lies in the question whether or no the mission emanated from ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and Mr BENJAMIN states most emphatically and unmistakeably that it was so understood at the conference. The Southern anxiety for peace it is not attempted to deny ; and it is again asserted in this official document sent forth to Europe as indicating the views of the Confederate Government, that the one condition insisted upon by them is the recognition of their independence. It is this that leaves the guilt of the war at the door of the North, and disposes of the vain pretext that the war was undertaken for the abolition of slavery. That it may eventually have that effect, it is indeed earnestly to be hoped by the agency of that benevolent Providence which works good out of evil ; but the principal representatives of Northern policy have now thrown off the mask and cease to profess any such objects. Mr BEN JAMIN points out the identity of the views professed by Messrs. GILMORE and JAQUES in their interview with President Davis, with those maintained by Mr HORACE GREELY in his intercourse with Messrs. CLAY and HOLCOMBE in Canada about the same time. It is remarked by Mr BENJAMIN as "a significant fact," that the opinions ascribed to President LINCOLN by the Colonel and his friend were identical with those communicated to Messrs. CLAY and HOLCOMBE. It is also a significant fact that these two interviews should have been held on the same subject about the same time, and that the Northern Government should disown its represen. tatives at the one and the Southern Government disclaim all knowledge of the proceedings of its partisans at the other. If this is done to secure EurJpean favour, it is a mistake. It is the continu ance of this bloody and profitless struggle, which is the national disgrace, not the desire for peace, and whichever party succeeds in stemming the torrent and restoring pence to the distracted nation will assuredly merit the applause and approval of all wise and good men on both sides of the Atlantic. Amid the many important events of the day minor grievances are apt to be overlooked, and yet they often press heavily upon a portion of the com munity least calculated to bear them, The perse cution to which the street fruiterers are constantly subjected is really intolerable, and it is most unfit ting that such a state of things be allowed to con tinue. Day after day some unfortunate itinerant vendor gets into trouble, and is often deprived of his or her little stock of provisions —the capital, in fact, which enables them to trade for an honest livelihood, and escape the close confinement of a workhouse. The other day mention was made of the case of a poor woman whose hardships in this respect were duly appreciated by the magistrate. So far it was satisfactory ; but the fect remained that she had been imprisoned through the agency of the meddlesome and officious policeman, who thought himself doubtless very clever in taking the law into his own hands. In the first place, the magistrate very properly ordered the woman out of the dock, saying that she was not a felon, and then he desired that her basket be restored to her, which the policeman had thought proper to confiscate and send to the greenyard. The summons was also dis missed. But this is an isolated case ; and how many poor sufferers lose all that they possess, and are driven out into the world thoroughly destitute. It is really such mistaken management a s thi s t h at induces so many to steal, and to sink into a hope less state of destitution. There is no sense in this incessant persecution of these poor street vendors of fruit and such like trifles. The police are not always so eager to keep a clear pas. sage on the footway and prevent obstructions at the corners of streets ; and before publiehouses how often do we sce troops of lawless characters assembled who aro much more likely to become obnoxious to others than these poor fruit sellers and their companions. It is requisite for the sake of fairness to all parties that such oppressive interfere ence be stopped, and that the police are desired not to.be so tyrannical in their pursuit of these humble traffickers, and a little more on the alert in other quarters where their aid is more urgently called for. If all the magistrates wculd follow the example of Mr Alderman STONE and dismiss such summonses it would be a very good thing, but as we cannot depend upon such a contingency it is desirable that some zealous workers for the good of the humbler portion of the community bo warned that here is a fitting subject for their efforts. All things must be regarded in a relative light to be duly appreciated and rightly understood, hence it is not the matter whether fruit be sold cheaper, or other similar ad vantages gained by such traffic, but it remains to be decided whether the very poor are to be forbidden to gain their own daily breed by honest means, or whether they are to be hunted down like beasts of prey, the sport of conventional impositions, and the victims of official tyranny. It is really absurd when we think upon the question that such mountains should be made of molehills, and that policemen should bo so much on the alert for the veriest trifles of obstruction, when the garotter has walked cff in so many instances without a clue being found to track his course. There aro matters of graver ims port to engage the attention and take up the time of the guardians of the thoroughfares than the question whether or not an old woman's basket of fruit obtrudes " three or four inches beyond the paTement," LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REITTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. TURIN, SEPT. 27. Baron Ricasoli has arrived here. Chevalier di Nigri is also at Turin. Nothing positive is known in reference to the new Cabinet. It is confirmed that Signori Lanza and Sella have accepted the portfolios which were offered them. The city is tranquil, NAPLES, SEPT 27. A meeting will shortly take place here in which all the fractions of the Unity party will be repre sented. The meeting will pass resolutions stating the right of Italy to Rome as the capital, and her right to Venice. Another resolution will express a hope that no municipal interest will prevail with the Government in the choice of a provisional ca. pital. The committee entrusted with the organisa tion of this meeting will be composed of members of the Senate and of the Chamber of Deputies. S PAIN. MADRID, SEPT. 27. The Central Progressist Committee held a meet ing yesterday to settle the policy to be followed in the present state of affairs. FRANCE. The Gazette de France, referring to the intelli gence communicated from Madrid that the fines imposed on the press for some years are to be re turned, observes :—This is certainly the first time that a decree of amnesty for the press has received a retrospective interpretation so broad and so libe• ral. We most sincerely congratulate our Spanish contemporaries on the fact. For a retrograde Ministry, assailed by the Steele and the Opinion Nationale, it really is not amiss. We do not ask for the reimbursement of our own fines or to be in- demnified for our imprisonments, alas! We are unwilling to bear so hard on the public Treasury. But till we can get something better, the annulment of our warnings would give us great pleasure. BOURSE, Sept. 26.—The market shows a slight improvement on Saturday.

The Press of Vienna, speaking of the convention between France and Italy, says :—" The with drawal of the French troops from Rome within a delay of two years would be a fact of secondary importance if the Cabinet of the Tuileries persisted in following the track of its past and present policy. Has France in view to maintain the tem poral power of the Pope ? She need only leave at Civita Vecchia a small body of troops and a squad ron which could in a moment go to the assistance of the Papacy if menaced. No one imagines in Paris that Victor Emmanuel can have Rome against the will of France, either by main force or through the stratagem of a revolution organised at Rome. France will morally occupy the Papal capital as long as she chooses, and she may therefore dispense with doing so militarily. If the withdrawal of the troops were efftcted rap:dly, and were to be fol lowed by a Sardinian invasion, the clerical party, which is very powerful in France, would render the Government responsible for the destruction of the. Papacy, and regard Victor Emmanuel 88 the instrument used in effecting that act. But, the French garrison having once quitted, and the Papal Government still maintaining itself for a certain time, a popular rising might overthrow it from one day to another. We have not the slightest doubt as to the intention of the Empe ror Napoleon to preserve Rome to the Pope, but only on conditions which will be scarcely refused to him. From this time France is mistress in Rome. When Baron de Bach returns there he will only have to comment on that fact with as many details as he will think proper," ALGERIA. The Courier de 1 Alyerie publishes the following observations on the new organisation of the colony : —" The military government of Algeria is now completely organised. Marshal de MacMahon, who left France rather earlier than was originally intended, has brought with him only his aides-de camp and orderly officers ; he will soon be followed by a division of 10,000 or 12,000 men, now prepar ing for embarkation. The Algiers journals contain an official communication announcing further defec tions of the tribes. In consequence of a false report that the chief of the insurrection, Si-Mohammed Ould Hemz 1, was coming to the Hodna, certain fractions of the Ouled-Madhi assumed a doubtful attitude, and at last, on Sept. 8, commenced actual hostilities against the column of observation eta. tioned in the circle of Bougada, but they were re pulsed with considerable lobs. This last fact shows how ready the Arabs are to revolt, and how easily they are misled by false news and the mar co lyres of intriguers who work on their antipathies of race. They have been for some time past under the im pression that France was getting discouraged, and had begun to meditate the evacuation of Algeria ; these repeated revolts have no other cause. The Arabs however soon retire when they find them selves in presence of a serious force, and though in. trepid, they immediately fall back on their doctrine of fatalism. 'lt was written,' they say. The hiloniteur has announced the nomination of General Desvaux, commander of the province of Constantine to the function of deputy governor of Algeria, in the place of General de Martimprey. This appoint ment will be received with great favour in Africa, for General Devaux enjoys a high reputation for administrative capacity, and has made himself very popular by the encouragement he has given to the boring of artesian wells in the Sahara, and also by his zealous efforts to promote pacification and civili sation in the oases. As a contrast to Gen. Desvanx there is 'Jen. Deligny, commandant of the subdivid eion of Oran, who, instead of zealously promoting ameliorations, energetically opposed, in the Council- General, the projects of irrigation, and looked with disfavour on the extension of European colonisation. Gen. Delignay is about to return to France on account of ill health, and his departure will not be regretted by the colonists except for its cause. Another general of the Army of Africa, General Leoert, commandant of the subdivision of Milianah, is, however, very popular in his command; for he is not only a good soldier but a man of science, and devotes hie leisure to works of public utility. He is a member of the Acclimatisation society, and has succeeded in r es t oc king with fish the waters courses in the environs of iNfilianah by means of artificial fecundation. On his return in July from his expedition to the South all the colonists of the towns through which he passed assembled and gave him an enthusi ast i c recept i on .

The pursuit of this durable Iglory will be th e o bj ect o f the new G overnor .. General ; he will not find the colony and France ungrateful," INDIA AND CHINA. We have received, in anticipation of the Calcutta and China mails, files of papers from Calcutta to August 22; Madras, August 27 ; and Hongkong, August 13. INDIA. We take the following summary of news from ,he Calcutta Englishman of August 22: " Our news from Bhootan still tells of internal discord, and their hopes of assistance from Thibet are not encouraged by the fact that the Karder of the Thibetan authorities, on his arrival in Bhootan to collect an annual tribute, learned, for the first time, the treement the British mission had received from the Bhootanese, It is said, too, that the Lama of Thibet has written to Bhootan that the conduct of the Penlows was contrary altogether to the etiquette and laws which should govern the conduct of kings and princes, and has advised the Dhurm and 1/31) Rij to apologise and to do everything in their power to mollify the terrible British. He gives no promise whatever of help, and, as an old pretender to his throne is threatening to attack him from China, has probably quite enough to do to manage his own affairs. Toungsoo Penlow, how ever, the author of what we might call the Bhootan coup cretat,' is evidently a gentleman of many resources, and never very hard up for an excuse. He has replied to the Lama's letter to the effect that in 1862 he had applied to the Bengal Government for an increase of the subsidy paid for the Dooars, and that it was refused. This he con sidered insulting, and accordingly took an opportu• pity of gratifying his revenge by illtreating an envoy whom he knew to be the secretary of the Bengal Go. vernment. He even went so far as to make a merit of not having put Mr Eden into prison, and of having confined himself to mere personal outrage. This is very well for the Lama, but whether it will satisfy onr Government is another story, especially as our latest letters from England say that the Home Go vernment are inclined to take up the affair very seriously. The Hon. Ashley Eden is blamed for pushing on, at the hazard of his life, from Paro, bnt the indignation of the authorities is chiefly excited by the wrongs of the British subjects who have been severed from their homes and families, and carried into slavery. Sir C. Wood is said to have called for a detailed report of the means taken by the Government of India to relieve these people and to revenge the insult offered by the Bhoota• nese; Our correspondent from Darjeeling also informs us that the Dhurum and Deb Rai have prepared an answer to the Viceroy's letter, denying all knowledge of the insults et:fared to the British mission. They say, too, that Mr Eden departed without giving them notice, and that the draughts of the treaties brought by Mr Eden were made over to the Jungpeens. The Dhurm Raj also denies all knowledge of the British subjects captured in Bhootan, but promises to make inquiries. This latter has, we hear, been made over to a Zincoff, or messenger, to be delivered to the Soubah of Dalimkote to forward to the Lieutenant-Governor, Oa our side preparations are still made, and we now hear that one officer is to be selected by the Commander• in -Chief, and another by the Lieu• tenant-Governor of Bengal, for the purpose of arranging for the establishment on the Bhootan frontier of such a line of defences as wore directed by the Viceroy in Council in June last. " We have news from Moulmein to the 9th and Rangoon to the 13th inst. The shipping disasters in that quarter have been rather numerous of late, and we have to record the loss of the bark Mouls mein off the coast at Port Blair, whither she was boned with a cargo of timber and stores. The cap. tain and several others were saved by means of a raft, but eight men are still missing. Capt. W. H. Eales, commander of the Government steamer Nemesis, died suddenly at Port Blair a few days ago. He had been in the Bengal marine service at the steam for more than seven years, and was well and favourably known. The opening of the road from the Shan and K amen frontiers to Moulmein has caused a very large influx of trade to Moulmein, and the supply of teak timber that arrived last year is unprecedented. This has naturally caused the trade of Mon' mein to flourish, and there have been in the harbour of that port no less than a hundred vessels, European and native. The revenue of the TL nas scrim provinces consequent on the great impetus given to the trade of all kinds will, it is said, show an increase for the present year of upwards of 30 per cent. on the preceding year. A large portion of the traders from Yunan and the independent Hill States, who were in the habit of going to Ava and Bangkok, now deliver their goods at Moul mein. "We hear, on good authority that Sir Herbert Edwards will be the nest Lieut.-Governor of the Punj b. It is said that he will take up his appoint ment when Sir R. Montgcmery resigns, and that the two will then go home together, Sir R3bert for good, and Sir Herbert on nin months' leave, during which time Mr Macleod will officiate as Lieutenant Governor. There is a report, moreover, that Mr Macleod refused the pukka appointment when offered to him by the Viceroy a fortnight ago, " We hear of another mob in Meywar on the Bth inst. Col. Eden endeavoured to punish the former rioters who had attacked his house, when another crowd suddenly assembled, and were very violent. They tried to seize Colonel Eden, with the inlention of tearing him to pieces, but the young Rijah came to his assistance and saved him. It is said that the people of Meywar have taken a great dislike to Col. Eden, and that the Governor. General has disapproved his conduct; they, there fore, do not hesitate to abuse and ineult " We have to record the death of John Lsng, barrister-at-law, and editor of the Mofussi. lite. The intelligence reached us yesterday by electrio telegraph. He died on Saturday morning at Mussoorie, after a protracted illness. " The Commissioner of the Central Provinces, Mr Temple, has proposed to Government to estab lish a Conservancy of the Forests of these provinces, dividing them into six divisions. The establish.. ment of the new department is estimated at 40,000 f a year." THE CALCUrTA MARKETS, Aua. 22. The express portion of the English mails, via Bombay, to the 18th of July, arrived in Calcutta on the evening of the 15th inst, and the heavier part on the morning of the 20th. The screw steamer Mooltan, with a week's later dates, arrived at Gale on the 18th, and will probably reach us about the 26th. Our latest telegraph datta from London are to tho 2d August. Produco Market—Very little doing since our last, and prices, if anything, lower, Import Market—The market still continues dull, awl quotations remain nominal. Importers, however, con inue to hold stocks rather than sell at a decline. Joint-Stock Shares— Since our last report there has been no alteration in the share market, and the rates quoted must be considered nominal. There is a total cessation of busi ness now, as there was during the last crisis, but happily from no more serious cause than the state of the money market. Holders aro firm, and are not forced to sell. The share marksst is in a healthy state. Government Securities, after receding still further, have recovered a little, and there appears to be more disposition to buy within the last two days. Five-and-a-half, which were sold as low as 107, close at 109 to 1091. Fives may be quoted at 1011, and Fours 911 to 92. Money Market.—The money market is still tightening. The pressure is felt more particularly in the bazaar, where discount has advanced to 12 per cent. Comparing the Bank of Bengal's last statement with that of the previous week, there appears a diminution of 39 lacks in the reserve at the head office, This appears to have been caused chiefly by an increased demand for loans on Government securities, but, from whatever cause it has arisen, it fully justified the Di rectors in raising their rates two per cent. all round on the 13th inst. Exchange has still an upward tendonoy, though rates are exceptionally high or the season. Freights—Freights have undergone very little change during the week, but transactions have been very limited. Lord Rosehill, son of the Earl and Countess of Noithesk, is expected home shortly from Canada, where he has been serving with the Scots Fusilier Guards. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Mr. Jackson Mines, the champion skater of America, is now performing at the Crystal Palace, and yesterday drew a goodly number to witness his very gracifal performance. He performs on a skate with three or four india-rubber wheels at the bot tom, and goes through a series of dances. He moves with great rapidity, and, indeed, his performance is one of the prettiest imaginable. Wait Blondiu, the child rope walker, also added to the amusements by his astonishing gymastic exercises on the low rope, and they are both an nounced daily up to Friday, Social Science Congress. YORK, Monday Afternoon. The banquet at the Do Grey Room on Saturday evening passed off in most excellent style. The chair was occupied by Lord Brougham, and amongst the company present were the Lord Mayor of York, Sir George Strickland, Sir Bald win Leighton, M.P., Mr Westhead, M.P., G. W. Has tings, Esq,, Edwin Chadwick, C. 8., and the principal notabilities of the association then in the city. After the conventional toasts had been proposed and drank, Sir John Pakington, M,P„ rose for the purpose of proposing the toast of the evening—" Prosperity and Suc cess to the Social Science Association, and the Health of the noble President, Henry Lord Brougham." He paid a very high compliment to the noble lord, trusting that, like Lord Lyndhurst, his intellectual power and usefulness might be retained to the extremest verge of Irmaan life. The toast was drank with hearty cheers, in responding to which Lord Brougham expressed the gratitude he felt for the assistance which he and the Associaticn had received from Sir John Pekington and others. He defended the Association from several of the objections which had been urged against it, and declared its operations to be most useful and important. He then proposed, "The House of Commons," which was responded to in an effective speech by Sir Bald% in Leighton, who thought the ventilation of Social Science sub jects greatly facilitated the labours of members of Parlia• ment in the adoption or alteration of laws. Lord 'reign mouth made a lengthy speech, in which he eulogised the services of Lord Brougham, and commended the objects of the Social Science Association. The presence of the noble lord revived in his mind many old reminiscences respecting the anti-slavery agitation, and he recalled the saying of Wilberforce to the effect that, during that agitation, Lord Brougham had never flinched from the object in view, but manfully fought fur it from the very first. He then pro , posed the health of Sir Charles Hastings and Major Ackroyd, who both duly returned thanks, the former stating that he did not think that in any of the depart ments there would be found questions of more vital importance than those which were discussed in the de partment (of Health) over which he had the honour to preside. Liko the preceding speakers, he praised the ser vices of Lord Brougham, who had helped to raise the Asso ciation to its present high position, and obtained for it the promise of so bright a future. The noble chairman then proposed the " Health of the Lord Mayor," who acknow ledged the compliment, and stated that the corporation and the citizens of York had done their best to make the visit of the Association to the ancient city as pleasant as possible. The names of the local secretaries and com mittee, the Lady Mayoress, and the Secretary of the Association, Mr G. W. Hastings, were then drunk in swift succession. Mr Hastings, in returning thanks, alluded to the new section—that of Agricultural Science-- which had been established. In response to the toast of " The Foreign Visitors," Judge Marvin, of New York made a long and interesting speech, in the course of which he alluded, at some length, to the questions of maritime insurance and international law. Various other toasts followed, and the company then dispersed. Yesterday proved beautifully fine, and many of the visitors amused themselves by strolling along the ramparts of the ancient walls by which the city is surrounded. In the minister a large congregation assembled, for the pur pose of hearing the sermon announced to be preached by the Dean of York. Lord Brougham, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and many other leading personages were present. There were also a considerable attendance in the cathedral. Great numbers of people congregated in the streets for the purpose of seeing Lord Brougham. The various dissenting places of worship were also well filled. To-day we have been favoured with a continuance of the fine and brilliant weather hitherto enjoyed by us, and the result has been a considerable accession to the number of visitors. The streets wear a more lively and animated aspect, especially in the vicinity of the buildings wherein the meetings of the several departments are held. At half past ten a meeting was held in the Festival concert room, for the purpose of hearing his grace the Archbishop of York deliver his address as president of the Education Depart ment. The attendance was very large, more than 1,000 members and associates being present. Of these a consider able proportion were ladies ; and on the platform we ob served Sir S. Northcote, M.P., the Dean of York, Sir C. Hastings, Dr Lankestor, E. Chadwick, C. 8., and other members. The chair was taken by Lord Brougham, who was received with cheers, The Archbishop then commenced reading his piper. Speaking with great rapidity, but with remarkable precision and fluency, he entered into the whole question of education, which he divided into three heads, treating each with a degree of comprehensiveness and liberality which repeatedly called forth the applause of all present. He disapproved of university examinations for females, who, he thought, had enough to do at home. He also touched upon the question of the grammar and other endowed schools, university reform, and popular education, He was favourable to the widest possible spread of the blessings of education, the advantages and benefits of which he extolled in terms which elicited loud and prolonged cheering. At the conclusion Lord Brougham highly com mended the paper, which was certainly remarkable for its broad and liberal views. In the Jurisprudence Department a discussion arose on the special question, " Whether any, and what, ameliora tions can be introduced into the institution and conduct of Criminal Prosecutions?" a paper on the subject being con tributed by Robert Stuart, barrister-at-law. This depart ment was but thinly attended. In the Reformatory Section, which was well patronised, the subject of convicts was brought up. Sir Walter Crofton presided, and the papers read were on " Convicts without the Prison," by Mr Cr. P. Organ; "Discharged Prisoners,' by James Marshall; and the ",Supervision of Licensed Convicts," by Mr James P. Measor. The sitting of the General Average Committee, presided over by Sir James P. Wilde, was attended by mans foreigners and members cf the International General Ave rage Committee. The subjects, however, proved very un palatable to the generality of numbers. The Education Department, presided over by the Arch bishop of York, was the most largely patronised. In fact, as might have been expected in a cathedral city, it has en joyed a greater share of popularity than all the other de partments put together. This morning it held its sittings in the De Grey Rooms, when papers were read on the state of education in the rural distx jets. The health department was somewhat thinly attended, for the special question discusses', though important, was necessarily dry in nature. It related to the causes and prevention of excessive infant mortality, papers on the subject being read by W. D. Husband, F.R.C.P., Dr. Thin, and Dr. French. The Economy and Trade Department held its sitting is the small ante-chamber at the Da Grey Rooms. The accommodation was miserably deficient, and the paucity of seats occasioned much inconvenience. Edwin Chadwick, Esq., presided. Mr H. A. Arnold read a paper on " The Cotton Districts and the Famine," in which he traced the manufacturing prosperity of Lancashire to its immense supplies of water power and coal, and stated that, in the matter of drainage of population, it wt , s to England what America was to Europe. He also said that 26 per cent. of the population were not natives. Alluding to the famine and its effects, he praised the demeanour of the operatives, and spoke in favourable terms of the co-opera tive societies. Adverting to emigration as a remedy for the distress which prevailed, he corrected several popular errors on the subject. He also alluded to the effects of the Public, Works Act, and concluded by observing that the results of the famine proved that the prosperity of England was not dependent upon any single branch of manufac turing industry. Mr G. J. Holyoake then read a paper on "Cooperative Progress during the Cotton Famine, and the " Growth of the Halifax Store," in which he traced the remarkable spread of co-operative principles amongst the working classes, and the rapid development of the societies thus formed. He traced the progress of the Halifax Co-opera tives, which was truly astonishing, rivalling even that of the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers. The reading of this paper gave rise to some discussion, in the course of which Mr Edwin Chadwick, Mr John Holmes, and others spoke favourably of the co-operative movement. Mr J. HOLMES, of Leeds, then read a paper on " Houses for the People, and How to Provide Them," in which he delineated the defective condition of our house accommoda tion for the working classes, and described the history of an association at Leeds, which turned over £150,000 annually for the purpose of supplying its members with improved cottages, drawings and plans of which were exhibited. It was a meat instructive paper, and received with consider able applause. THE Bisuor OF NELSON.—The Bishop of Nelson (New Zgtland) has announced that he is compelled to resign the charge of the diocese in consequence of the increasing failure of his health. However much some among us may dissent from the views entertained by Bishop Hob house with reference to Church government, all will learn with deep sympathy and regret that the resignation of his episcopal charge has been rendered imperatively necessary by illness. This we have good reason to f ear has been aggra• vated, if not actually caused, by events which are of too recent occurrence to need further allusion to them, but which must have been the source of poignant suffering and sore disappointment to his lordship. Wo can ill spare from among us the presence of men of intellect and single-hearted purpose. Bishop llobhouse's departure from the province will also deprive us of t he wholesome example of a courteous Christian gentleman, pious and self-devoted, who acted in strict accordance with the rigid lino of duty which seemed to be prescribed by his priestly and episcopal vows in the midst of social difficulties of no ordinary magnitude. The bishop's missionary labours and journeyings, both by land and sea, have been neither small nor unimportant; while difficulties which the most hardy settler has feared to en counter in travelling in the interior have been disregarded and bravely surmounted by his lordship at the call of duty. As time exercises its mellowing k fluences upon the un happy differences which have in some degree embittered those affectionate relations which should exist between the chief pastor of a diocese and his flock, we may indulge the hope that the memory of Bishop Hobhouse's presence among us, and the example of his pure, self-denying, and useful life, may operate not unprofitably as a witness against the unspirituality and open mammon-worship of our days,- IYeso: ,Examiner. Trintot Ciro HER MAJESTY. The Queen and the members of the royal f aullll continue in excellent health at Balmoral. Olden His Imperial Highnzss Prince Elimar of O. burg left Balmoral on Saturday for the south. Prince Humbert of Italy. Yesterday morning his Royal Highness Fri": Humbert of Italy, attended by Col. du Plat, Eq uelr , to her Majesty, and accompanied by the no bleme" and gentlemen in the suite of his royal highne,.Bs; left the Italian Legation in Grosvenor-street, a ft an early breakfast, in the Queen's carriages , fo r the Waterloo Terminus of the south 117 (stern Itail ws ", i ; to pay a visit to the camp at Aldershot.

The plan of geti appeared to be to attack an enemy advancing fr °o the south, and accordingly a strong lino of sltiv, mishers were thrown out on the right. These 11 . 1 40 ing successfully operated, Major-Gen. Taylor en ' ft right, and Major-General Russell on his lei; pushed forward, the former officer skilf, u e j compelling the enemy to draw in his left, eGee, Russell vigorously attacking the centre. Th al operations were gallantly supported by lt °l9 , Horse Artillery, Cavalry, and Royal Artilleriti commanded by Colonel Sir D. Wood, K.C.8.1 Major-General Hodge respectively. The Infa l3l ; Reserve was in command of Major.Gcneral B at t , and consisted of the Ist Battalion 14th Regimen The io foe (imaginary) having been beaten back 7.0 the south, the troops took up a fresh formation 'de the east, where General Bates brought his b ri g ad e into play, and after a splendid advance for s° lll l distance, the movements concluded with a 8115 0 tire from the infantry, which had deployed Ti e r line. The troops returned to quarters at a (1 01. , o f to twelve. The weather during the earlier P art et the movements was very foggy, and this some" 0 spoiled the effect of the display.
